Interior
The new Chevy Equinox is a two-row SUV with five supportive seats that provide comfort during long trips. The two rows are accompanied by sufficient legroom and headroom, which contributes to a comfortable ride, mainly for the taller passengers. Standard features include cloth seat trim, a locking glove box, an engine immobilizer, a full cloth headliner, manually adjustable front seats, bottle holders, and carpet floor trim. You can get various upgrades, such as a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, plus heated and ventilated seats.
The cargo area is 29.9 cubic feet, suitable for accommodating several carry-on bags. You can increase the cargo area to 63 cubic feet when folding the rear seats. As you would expect from any SUV you will encounter from Corpus Christi to Austin, TX, the new Chevy Equinox also brings the child's car seat set up, developed in the second row.
Tech
The Chevy Equinox has a straightforward infotainment system. The standard 7-inch and optional 8-inch infotainment touchscreens are responsive to inputs and come standard with satellite radio, Android Auto capability, Bluetooth connection, Apple CarPlay, and HD radio. The navigation system and the seven-speaker stereo system accompany the optional 8-inch. Besides the two touchscreens, you will get a wireless device charging pad, dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, and keyless entry, which lets you lock and unlock the vehicle's door with a press of a button on the car key fob.
Performance
